reveal that janet yellen who is the fed chief had launch with ivanka trump to talk about women's issues. it's just remarkable for someone like me who's covered the fed and central banks, something unheard of in any other administration. >> it's remarkable, the role she has continued to play throughout in this informal and formal advisory role. that includes points of contact with key officials including the chairwoman of the federal reserve. this is a family drama. so it's no wonder it's part of the scandal. it's no wonder it's also part of stories about this about monetary policy. >> it's so interesting too we don't know who's going to be running the fed. apparently gary cohen may have

lost the president plendge. >> eyebrow raising remarks from hillary clinton in just a bit.

secretaries and boat captains. i met a former fireman who walked around just sort of shell shocked as he said my couch is over there, sink over there. aside from all the stuff lost, there is the human life. that's what most people are concerned about. it's almost impossible to confirm who was lost and saved because communication is down. the no power, no running water down here. road is impassable in many places as we try to inspect all of the 43 bridges that connect this necklace of islands going to key west. another symbol, we've seen it in can katrina and the poor folks in houston. look at the date. 9-11-17. at 2:30 they searched this home for bodies and symbols confirm none were found. we're really interested to see how the folks down in the lower keys have fared. i've been getk text messages from strangers, people on instagram, twitter saying please check our families. if this is is bad, we can only

imagine where it's like where the storm was the fiercest. biggest threat this week will be river flooding in northern florida. city of jacksonville reeling. the same threat fising other coast alcommunities like savannah georgia, and charleston south carolina. so far, irma being blamed for five deaths, one each in florida and south carolina. three in georgia including two from falling trees. >> about 8 million customers still out power in the southeast. the lights are off, folks. majority of those people are in the customers in florida and georgia. joining us life have crishrichr. he thank you for giving us the time this morning on this tropical depression moving right up into your neighborhood

bringing all of this rain, what are you expecting and seeing? >> right now what we're doing is being very cautiously optimistic and watching water levels. projected see a rise in the flint river which was the source of 1994 and 98 floods. le watching it, about 1.7 feet below flood level on friday. so ob' obviously staying in touch with the partners at the state and federal level making sure we inform all of the citizens as we watch rain come into the atlanta area. >> what's your priority once the sun sums up? over an hour? >> first thing we're going to be doing is the damage assessments. overall we did very well yesterday in comparison to what the original projections were for dougherty county. we're very thankful for in a. where we'll begin damage

assessments on the ground. we're working to make sure we have power up to as many folks as we can. >> the problem with recovery, when you have -- with florida at least, gas shortages but where you are all these people without power, it's real hard to get moving forward when you don't have power, what kind of assessments are you making when you're going to have the lights back on? >> we ex p egted that will happen pretty quickly. we have a lot of agreements with state partners and other dig large stakeholders across the state so we can get those folks on the ground very quickly. the state's been very good to us in this regard. we have a lot of collaborative agreements. >> one of the developing problems is certainly in the state of florida, 54 hospitals are now on backup generators, 36 of those were closed as of monday night. are hospitals there in georgia open? or have they been without power as well? >> in our community, we were

very fortunate that we did not have that problem. i can't speak for some of the other counties. i do know that camden county had approximately 25 homes flooded. and i don't know if it affected their capabilities in that regard. >> let me ask you this question about what you're telling people in your community. what we know from covering these storms is often injuries even fatalities happen after the storm has paz passed. when people get out and poking around. power lines down or dangerous conditions that are driving cars into. if what are you telling people in your community? do you have a warning for them this morning about taking caution? >> we do. in our folks are well educated because this is our third president chall president-declared daz. we' we're telling them to be careful on the ground. we released our citizens about

9:00 last night to begin about their regular lives and traveling. we're telling them to be very careful, we have not completed the damage assessments, there are a lot of roads that still have significant debris on them. and we also have a lot of trees that are disabled and still some power lines down. we're telling people to proceed with extreme caution. >> all right. patience, patience. thank you so much for joining us from georgia. >> all right the dow soaring more than 250 points as fears over north korea and irma fade. the is ansured losses are going be big, but less than the worst case scenario, so insurance company stock drove the overall market higher. more on that later. but first florida race to go refill its gas stations to help millions of residents drive home. more than 60% of stations in miami and gainesville are out of gas. the same is true for half of

those in jacksonville, tampa, west palm beach. many bought gas before fleeing the shortage. another is harvey. florida has few refineries to fixing its gas shore age will depend on ports. morse major ports are still closed. s significant damage could delay future shipments. florida did avoid a worst case scenario. for example the largest port in tampa pay only suffered minimal damage. u.n. security council adopting new sanctions against north korea. cnn only western tv organization in north korea. will ripley live in pyongyang with reaction next. what started as a passion

and threatening to retaliate against the united states using words like pain and suffering, inbearable consequences, and ready at any moment to launch another missile. south korea thought it was going to happen a couple of days ago, it hasn't happened yet so there are a lot of different things we've seen in a physical response. here in pyongyang, they must be at least taking note of the fact that this sanctions resolution is far less severe than what the united states proposed at the end of last week. it's kind of like a trump contract negotiations. he wanted a complete oil embargo, kim jong-un's name blasted. shut down north korea's national carrier, airline, all of those things were dropped from the bill that was eventually passed. it had the fingerprints are trien in a and russia all over it because they refused to take steps they feel would be

destabilizing for this country and obviously cutting off all oil was a step they were unwilling to take. but what is happening, another export, they can't sell dex tiles. there's a cap on how much oil they can buy in the country and reap strik shns on certain other kinds of petroleum products. can't sell coal, iron, lead, seafood. somehow, because they managed to get around the shank shns the economy grew. yet another round of sanctions and statement of anger from the north koreans but moving forward what we really need to see is if there's going 0 to be any tangible effects. i can tell you on the ground here we haven't seen it yet from these sanctions or the sanctions passed previously. >> and the excalation continues on both sides. thanks, will. 18 minutes past the hour. monday night football

was already conducting an aggressive investigation. maybe the problem goes back further to what is being investigated rather than firing. >> but it's interesting if it was such a massive mistake, if donald trump did nothing wrong, it's not a consequence shall mistake. so, that might beg the question, why? >> well that's why we have to see how it turns out. obviously if it's an investigation and it turns out nothing happened this would be the best thing to happen to president trump. >> another thing he said, talked about how he thought republicans, the republican establishment trying to nullify let's listen.tion. >> the republican establishment is trying to nullify the 2016 election. that's a brutal fact we have to face. >> the republicans. >> the republican establishment. >> nullify the 2016 election. >> trying to nullify the 2016 election. absolutely. >> who? >> i think mitch mcconnell, to a

degree paul ryan. they do not donald trump's nationalist agenda to be implemented. it's pretty obvious. >> is he right? what is that agenda? >> i'm not sure he's totally light. i think republicans have been easy on trump and now you have more criticism as he becomes more controversial and makes deals with democrats. they haven't actually been his biggest enemy. what's his agenda? i don't think anybody knows. he's very hard line against immigration. this seems to be the heart of what he calls economic nationalism. >> more jobs jobs jobs. >> everyone's in favor of that. that doesn't really define a distinct policy. >> i think what we're learning is what he meant by de construction. he just want to the blow this whole thing up. that might include the republican party. he wants to primary republican

senators that are incumbents, but i want to move on to the other party, that they have their own issues because hillary clinton with more news with an interview she did with usa today about this book that's coming out and she hits back at trump about this russian investigation. and what she says to the usa today is there certainly was communication and an understanding of some sort. there's no doubt in my mind that they are he' are a tangle of financial relationships with trump and russian money. there's no doubt in my mind that the trump campaign has worked really hard to hide the connections with russians. i'm not clear if she's seen any national security documentation or if this is just an opinion. what's the impact of these continued sour grapes from hillary clinton and pointed remarks? >> there's many democrats who will wish she was this hard hitting back in the fall campaign rather than now when

it's a bit too late. the big danger is this continues to be a story about the 2016 campaign. about hillary clinton. and it's essential for the democrats to move to 2018 and '20, to think of a new field of candidates, a new set of issue that is will any mate the ewelcome for rat so they can retake control of congress and the white house. so the danger is you get too stuck in the past and they don't move forward. but i do think people wish she spoke this bluntly and unscripted back in the campaign. >> there are some democrats ringing their hands over the whole book -- our section of the "new york times" -- this is a against james comey -- >> settling scores. >> she has to also come to terms with what she did wrong and just as important with the mistake that is the party made. because some would say it should never have been this close. and even with all those issues

that she raises, she still should have had enough of cushion to depete him. >> thanks. >> ahead, new sanctions against north korea passed by the u.n. security council. how's pyongyang reacting. will ripley live next. baa baa black sheep, have you any wool? no sir, no sir, some nincompoop stole all my wool sweaters, smart tv and gaming system. luckily, the geico insurance agency recently helped baa baa with renters insurance. everything stolen was replaced. and the hooligan who lives down the lane was caught selling the stolen goods online. visit geico.com and see how easy it is to switch

bring in will ripley. good morning, what is reaction there from the latest round of sanctions? >> reporter: when we spoke with officials about this, they said look, north korea already has nuclear weapons and so the united states demanding that they denuclearize is something completely a non-starter for them and so predictably they're outraged. they have threatened unbearable consequences, pain and suffering, the extending shin of the united states. familiar fiery rhetoric from north korea. what we need to watch is there going to be a physical response, we know south korea has thought nor several days north korea is ready to launch in our missiano. this didn't happen after the sanctions vote but it would certainly be one way north korea sends messages of defiance, but these sanctions are not what the united states initially

proposed. they're much more watered down to get china and russia on board. gone is the oil em barreling go. kim jong-un's name originally going to be black listed. it's not now. all of this really does is prevent north korea from selling textiles. they have other ways of getting around sanctions in the black market. >> hard to believe. you're a pointed out that economy continues to grow. let's get a check on cnn money industrial. global stocks higher. biggest rally in six months because irma avoided a worth case scenario. the storm caused extensive damage but insured losses will be less than predicted. insurance company shares drove the gains, also helping the rally relief over north korea. the market calmed after the country did not launch another missile and u.n. imposed those new softer sanctions. apple shares jumping 2% in
